Yea! Quick progress and you feel better. You may want to try the same settings for a few days.

My one is not smart enough to autothx for tip, increasing temp on tube and turning up humidity seemed to do the trick i wore my athletic mouthguard too which helped to keep a seal on my mouth lol

Make sure the pillows aren't worn out. What works for me is using the large pillows and keeping the mask tight with the clips that come with it.

RE: new user having a hard time
ive tried the medium pillows that come with it, they felt too small, switched to the large. it was good for a couple nights then its back to lousy. super dizzy today and yesterday.
i think its because my sinuses become constricted and the machine ups the pressure. the humidity level doesnt seem to matter, you guys have this issue? i wake up and one nostril will be blocked almost completely, or both will have very poor airflow. |
